A lawyer, according to Black's Law Dictionary, is "a person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person licensed to practice law." Law is the system of rules of conduct established by the sovereigngovernment of a society to correct wrongs, maintain the stability of political and social authority, and deliver justice.
